    There was a similar accident here recently, a Prime truck and an Amish buggy were involved in a rear end accident.

    Thankfully, no fatalities, but the horse pulling the Amish buggy did suffer a broken nose, and made a full recovery.



    Sorry - couldn't resist. RIP and thoughts to all those injured.

    It's been many years since I drove through Amish country but the last time I did, they only had SMV emblems on the back of their buggies.

    Up here it’s SMV triangles and red LED.

    Usually running wide shoulders, can’t recall them ever running after dark.

    It’s common to see them after dark in parts of Ohio,that much I know(especially in the central part of the state). And the carriages are usually fitted with LED headlights and taillights (sometimes flashing) along with the SMV triangles.
